however, and false positives for acute infection are possible. DNA assays are also used to diagnose toxoplasmosis. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is able to detect T. gondii in both amniotic and cerebrospinal fluids and is commonly used to diagnose congenital toxoplasmosis. PCR is used to diagnose cerebral toxoplasmosis less frequently due to the invasiveness of the lumbar puncture procedure. Toxoplasmosis may also be indirectly diagnosed during routine image procedures. For example,…

location. There are many other ways for doctors to diagnose murmurs. “Doctors use a stethoscope to listen to heart sounds and hear heart murmurs. They may detect heart murmurs during routine checkups or while checking for another condition. If a congenital heart defect causes a murmur, it’s often heard at birth or during infancy. Abnormal heart murmurs caused by other heart problems can be heard in patients of any age.” (National Institute of Health). No matter what checkup the patient is…
